London, Feb. 19. The residence of David Lloyd George at Walton was wrecked by. a bomb last night. Scot land Yard detectives are convinced suffragettes are responsible. The bomb was placed in the servants' room and shattered the walls of one side of the house and broke every window. The house had just been built and was receiving the finishing touches. An unexploded bomb was found In the front room. Fresh automobile marks In the driveway strengthened the bellefy that suffragettes were re sponsible, knowing no lives would be endangered. It Is reported a limous ine occupied by two men and several women was seen near the residence. Two broken hatpins were found on the floor of the front room. The house will have to be rebuilt. Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst denied that suf fragettes planted the bombs. "There are plenty of persons be sides the suffragettes." snapped Mrs. Pankhurst, "who have grudges against Lloyd George. Some of these may have avenged themselves." Paper which .had been soaked In oil was found In every room of th house. Some was blazing when workmen arrived this morning. The house was of modern construc tion, and especially designed for week-end parties. George will suffer no financial loss as the work was still in the hands of the contractors. Workmen say prominent suffragettes recently passed the house, and seem ed greatly Interested in the progress of its construction. Mrs. Flora Drummond, a suffra gette leader, says she believes women dynamited George's home. "It's simply grand. It shows the determination, and fearlessness of women. I heartily approve of all the demonstration of militancy against cabinet officials, except the taking of life," she said. WILSON HAS BUSY DAY AT TRENTON New York, Feb. 19.

C. Goldbach, an itinerant jewelryman arrested here last May and Imprisoned for four days In the city jail for selling merchandise without a license, today through J. A. Wilson, a Walla Walla attorney, filed a ten thousand dollar damage suit bbAinst the city of Pendleion, alleg ing false Imprisonment.

He was arrested on May 4 by Chief of Police Kearney and charged with a violation of ordinance No. 607 which regulates the business of transient dealers in merchandise and provides a license fee of $5 a day. The specific offense with which he was charged was the sale of a bracelet to Clarence Kearney. He pleaded not guilty and, after be. Ing convicted In police court, was sen tenced by Judge Fitz Gerald to pay a fine of J 10 or spend five days In Jail. He chose the Jail alternative but was liberated after serving four days be cause of good behavior. At the time he was extremely wrathy and made numerous threats ot retribution he would exact. For some time past it has been known that he was seeking to bring suit against the city but had diffi culty In engaging an attorney who would act for him. One lawyer came to Pendleton and after Investigating the case declined to undertake It. it Is said. In his complaint, Goldbach alleges that he was confined to the jail un lawfully and maliciously and suffered a great deal because of his confine ment with criminals.

He declared his belllef that an attack would be made upon the constitutionality of the ordinance under which Goldbach was arrested.

As the law now stands the legislature has no power to pass a tax law, this restriction being im posed by an amendment adopted by the people.

HARD SURFACE ROADWAY PROPOSED AS A CONNECTING LINK BETWEEN PENDLETON AND BRANCH ASYLUM A permanent hard surface roadway leading from Pendleton to the Branch hospital and bordered on each side with a row of stately shade trees, thus providing a shaded drive and walk between the city and the Insti tution. This Is the latest Improvement pro posed In connection with the state hospital and while the scheme thus far is but In a tentative state there are many who hope that In time the plan will be carried out. Roland Oliver, son of R. L. Oliver former owner of the branch hospital location. Is an enthusiastic booster for the shaded highway. Talking of the idea today, he said: "A beautiful drive could be made of the road if the city and county aft er first improving the road will set out trees along the road. The pipe line runs along the road and water would be easily available for Irrigat ing the trees. The city and county could cooperate In the work and the expense would be light." Those who favor lining the road way with trees point out that in the southwest where the country as here la seml-arld many highways are shad ed and the trees make tho roadways beautiful. Another purpose that would be served by a hard surface roadway to tho branch hspltal Is It would per Washington, Feb. 19. The after math of the terrific struggle between Madero and Diaz for control of the government, which the state depart ment said will be far more dangerous than the actual struggle, has begun. Secretary Knox is closely watching Generals Orozco, Salazar, Gomez and Zapata, revolutionary leaders who are reported to be opposed to Huerta and Diaz. If either remains long at the head of the government it Is regarded as certain that a new revolution will terrorize the nation. The new regime will ' not be recognized ur.less Presi dent Taft Is assured of Its stability and Its ability to insure peace and protect foreigners. It Is not believed probable here that the new government will restore nor mal conditions before the Inauguration of Wilson. Meanwhile the vigilance of the state department will not be relaxed and the military and naval situation will remain unchanged. Washington, Feb. 19. General Huerta, head of the provisional gov. ernment, wired President Taft the fol lowing today: "I have the honor to In form you of the overthrow of this government. The forces are with me and from now on peace and prosper ity will reign throughout this repub lic." NO TIME SET TO ADJOURN Salem, Ore., Feb. 19. (Special) No agreement is in sight between the senate and house as to a time for adjournment.

North Yakima, Feb. 19. An explo sion In W. O. Brawbury's bookstore caused a fire that resulted in a loss of $45,000 to himself, the Richard Bayne Cloak House, John Ditter, gro cer, and A. B. Pearson, variety store. Damage to the building was 120,000. mit employes and visitors to make the trip to and from the city on foot much more conveniently than at pres ent. Complaint Is made by some of the employes that the rates charged by the local cabmen are exorbitant. A fare of $1 is exacted for the trip one way and the luckless attendant who resorts to the use of a cab to make a trip to town and back Is therefore forced to contribute $2 for his or her ride. This Is regarded as too luxurious for common people and the prices asked by the cabmen tend to make the employes remain at the Institution. Some of the employes walk to town but the roads are not always in good shape for foot trav eling. A hard surface roadway lined with shade trees would make the. walk a pleasure outing. To Imirove Grounds. According to Superintendent Mc Nary. the money recently appropriat ed for the branch hospital will soon be available and work will soon start on the Improvement of the grounds about the Institution. Visiting Hours. Visitors will now be admitted to the Institution on any days of the week save Saturdays and Sundays, says the superintendent.
